[Maylyn - Networking] ASUS RT-AC88U

[evildoctor]

So for me everything has been okay except sometimes it lags. Updated to the latest software.

I didn't try 380.64 as I saw that it was also back ported from 4180...

Alright, going to try 3941 as 380.63 is also dropping...what a disappointment that Asus still didn't fix it after so long.

The only reason I chose Asus is because I used N56U in the past and it was a really good router...

Also, did anyone brought the router to their service center? Mine was already revision A5...



5Ghz?

No worry! 3941 shuold wrok. If not u need to review yuor installatoin prcoedure liao.

Both 2.4 and 5. It disables itself and enables again.

Tried 3941, both 2.4 and 5 drop after a while. Any idea what issue am I facing exactly? I RMAed the previous one due to WIFI chip being fried, meaning to say my current set is completely new!

 

[evildoctor]

The drop issue is like when you using halfway on your phone, the wifi connection suddenly DC?

Have you all off smart connect? Maybe I got a solution for you guys. Try to operate the router in AP mode. Means you have to use your SingTel router as the main one then connect it to your Asus router. I currently have two 88u operating in AP Mode. So far everything has been smooth sailing except occasionally slow speed etc.

All devices connected to 5Ghz will suddenly disconnect, and if tried to scan for network the 5Ghz disappeared. It will reappear after 10~20min? But connecting back will give you a really slow speed.

Smart connect is always off. Reason I got another router is because Viewqwest's Zhone router is having random lag issue even with lan, so operating in AP mode isn't really an option for me. So far AC88U got rid of that random lag but introduced unstable 5Ghz...

Tried sending them feedback through the router when on 7266...

That's even worst...think you might need to return it to service center again...

For 3941 I hv no issue on 2.4G. As for 5G, I only got disconnected when watching VLC player on tablet. But its immedately reconnect. Youtube on 1080p got no problem at all.

If u don't hv any fancy setting and most them are on default then should hv no problem.

Cannot b freid agian

BTW, how can u fried yr router?

I am having problem accessing the router menu page. It open a web page and the message say waiting for 192.168.1.1 .

Previously, I have no problem accessing the router web page from the computer. I have try it on other computer on the network but still cannot access the router menu.

Is there any other solution other than reset the whole router to factory setting.
